I've tried to put into practice everything we've seen so far. I really wanted to draw what I thought when I saw this cat's ninja posture, so there will probably be a lot of mistakes. I started from the rough drawing until I got to the colored design. Any criticism is super appreciated! I think there's something wrong but I don't know what…

It’s time to switch our brain over to think more three-dimensionally for the Depth and Form method. In this demo I'll show you how you can primarily use one method, but not be strict with it. So, I sprinkle some influence from the light direction method.

Draw shoes after the demo....super exaggerated close up lines

I did these ones for the perspective course, but I was also focusing on depth and form line weight and line hierarchy. Disregarding the perspective part, how's the line quality and how can be improve?
Rachel Dawn Owens
These all look great! The sign has the most amount of depth due to the extreme perspective, plus the super thick-to-thin lines. The only thing I could offer as help is a few lines on the camera that could be brought forward more. Consider the distance between things when they overlap. I also separated the other lens from the camera to make the overall shape a stronger read. Thanks for sharing. These all look very good.

I'm glad to see Stan makes some of the same mistakes I do. It makes me feel better about my incompetence.

Looks good! The blend of straights and curves gives it a really nice feeling and solidness.

My humble take on the line weight exercises, of course mistakes are made, but it's an extremely fun exercise overall! Every drawing is made after watching the level 2 demo. Right now I think I feel most comfortable with the hierarchy of importance method, and my least favourite is the shadow one. Of course the depth and form requires a lot more thinking and practice, also. Oh and of course the combo of mashing up depth and form + light direction is pure genius! I want! Hope you enjoy and feedback is extremely welcome and appreciated! P.S. please ignore the green

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw those shoes with laces 😅 So, to avoid being traumatized by shoelaces for the rest of my life, I went with this antique pair of laceless shoes instead :)))

Here's my line weight practice. Any feedback would be nice. Thanks.

THese are all great! The cat's paw in the depth image feels a little over excentuated and enlargened if you were trying to be realistic. Then again as a more comic style it could show that the cat's claws are lethal. Great practice, keep going!! :)

Here is my attempt of doing the assignment, tried with a pumpkin because it’s October

I've done several, practicing lines, light & shadow and trying to improve at depth

Hallo, das war ein sehr hilfreiches Video. Mit der Grundzeichnung habe ich immer noch meine Schwierigkeiten, wegen der Proportionen. Jedoch mit der Liniengewichtung sieht es dann sehr schön aus. Vielen Dank

Messed up the spacing on the page. I now promise to use a brand new page each time. I mixed the hierarchy of importance and light and shadow, but not so much the depth and form. Maybe I should have added more depth to the wings. In any case I would love some feedback.

Looking back at it, the eagle's head is so massive I can't believe I missed that. Looks more like a vulture now, lol...

Tried this exercise, It made it clearer but I think no one would know what they are looking at without the photo :D
